About Bend’s Women in Technology (WoTech)

Why

Because it’s okay to talk about knitting, cooking, and code… all at one meeting.

What

Bend, Oregon is fortunate to be a place that many innovators call home. WoTech’s mission is twofold:
(1) celebrate women who are technology innovators and
(2) give women working in technology fields an opportunity to network with other like-minded individuals.

Who

Our group is not exclusive to women – everyone is welcome. But keep in mind that the conversation could change from Perl to purl, or from business intelligence to baking… at any moment. We’re more likely to talk about our kids (or pets) than football. And that’s totally okay with us!

We define “technology” with equally broad strokes. Software developers, chemists, medical professionals, or otherwise… if you consider yourself to be a geek girl or tech wiz of any kind, then you’ll probably find like-minded folks at WoTech.

When

Quarterly gatherings (January, April, July, October) will have a presentation format, led by interesting community members with a topic related to women in technology. Presenters do not have to be women, but the topic should either be engaging or inspirational to primarily a female audience.

“Just Lunch” is a monthly opportunity for… lunch. We’ll meet the second Thursday of each month at a restaurant or brown-bag it at the park (weather permitting).

Where

Times and locations for all events will be provided on the BendTech meetup site, WoTech’s “fan page” on Facebook, and the WoTech Twitter stream.
